How do programmers relax?

Bah, as usual things are way more complicated than they should be. Apparently there's no official consensus on pigeons vs. doves, but generally speaking doves are considered to be a kind of Columbidae, generally the smaller kind, but actually color has little to do with it. Anyway I was clearly wrong about them being the same species. I should have said family. I had heard that they were actually the same bird, but with different coloring. Then again I'm no biologist or even bird-watcher. So there. :P

Reading and writing in these posts...

printf("Error: No keyboard found!"); printf("Press any key to continue");

Body building , jogging , ice swimming ... Since your mind cannot be clear without having the healthy body to provide it with energy ...

It is one thing to know what to want, second to really want it, third to know how to do it, fourth to be skillful to do it, fifth to actually do it and last but not least to not regret after doing it

after a nap, I like watching movies, some googling, programming and 3d drawing xD

You should look for anything made by Parkzone. For around 250USD you'll get everything you need to get a model in the air. Best to start with something high wing that flies slowly like a Cessna or similar. I'd also fly it first time with someone who has done it before. Maybe find a local club and ask for help.

either the beach or cooking. Something about the lo-tech of making a fancy meal and accepting accolades clears out the brain.

Backpacking into the mountains where there are no electronic gadgets and even the cell phones don't work.

I watch TV, read science fiction, drink beer with my friends and cook.

By playing guitar... If I'm in a mellow mood, it's finger-picking on my Martin. If I'm stressed or otherwise need to let it out, it's shredding on my Les Paul with my Mesa Boogie's gain way up.

After my wife cooks dinner and we eat, I do the dishes. Thats pretty mindless work for me and helps keep me active.

Exercise is the best antidote to programming...
